"We're always looking at what our customers like and adjusting our range of products," a spokesperson said in the statement. "As part of this strategy, we're planning to phase out Coca-Cola Spiced to introduce an exciting new flavor in 2025."
The drink was launched in February and remains listed on the company's website as of Tuesday.

The side of pimento cheese starts at $3.99, or for a larger catering order, starting at $6.50.
“When we released the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich last fall, not only did we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback, but we also saw our guests making their own unique twists by swapping the original filet for the spicy filet,” said Chick-fil-A Chef Stuart Tracy in a news release last month. “We are thrilled to deliver what we know our guests want more of!”

Taco Bell teamed up with the National Day Calendar so that National Taco Day, which had been celebrated as a made-up holiday each year on Oct. 4, will now always be celebrated on the first Tuesday in October.
The National Day Calendar , which keeps track of national fun days, weeks and other celebratory dates, has now moved National Taco Day from Oct. 4 to the first Tuesday in October. That means Oct. 1 is National Taco Day this year.
"Fans online were questioning why National Taco Day only fell on a Taco Tuesday once every five to six years," Taco Bell's chief marketing officer, Taylor Montgomery, told USA TODAY in a statement. "We learned about the magic of the National Day Calendar, and made our case to move one of the biggest taco holidays of the year so that it would always land on the best taco day of the week — and now, we’re able to celebrate National Taco Day on Taco Tuesday this year, and every year in the future."
